Woody Allen is creepy, and his films are sometimes overrated.

hahaha, this is awesome

To me, their music kinda sounds like he doesn't care if people care about it.

In Rainbows did. I thought King of Limbs sounded much less glitchy.

Spirit's been trying for a long time.
I think the question is, since the two riffs are clearly different, how different are they? I'd rather listen to Stairway, but it also sounds to me like Jimmy Page was jamming on the Spirit song (or had it in his head) and then improved it and made it something different by the end.

Thirteen Conversations About One Thing
Four Rooms (duh)
Monty Python - And Now For Something Completely Different

I would argue that his use of wide/long/extreme shots is perhaps most central to his style. Some of his movements remind me of Spielberg, but just slightly more demented and with darker tones / cinematography.

I've actually seen someone do this type of thing before…

I looked up halfway through the piece to see who wrote it, and yeah… Was this a "once-in-a-while" type thing for Donna and Noel?

The Abyss is better than Avatar (not saying much), and when I watched Avatar I thought that James Cameron forgot how to film a crew and environment and just "be" in a remote area.

"In Eggers’ defense, what he was doing in Heartbreaking Work wasn’t entirely a gimmick, though it was that, too. The style creates a distance between the reader and the emotions of the book—a not-inappropriate choice, given how the characters used irony and sarcasm as shields. The book’s self-referential aspects are…

I liked King of Limbs; it was unlike what Radiohead had done but it was like what others had done.

Mine is pretty close to this.

This has the potential to be a hilarious casting. I loved "March of the Wooden Soldiers" as a kid.

Avatar inspired me to point out that Hollywood spent millions of dollars to build a fake world that people around the world spent millions of dollars to see, just so people could pretend that they cared about "real" environmental concerns.

The Silver Chair is a strong story and an easy story to tell. It is also one of the darker stories in the series, so it should help them set a good tone. Puddleglum is a fantastic character. This story is like a condensed version of The Hobbit, only there are fewer people on the journey and they are rescuing a prince…

Yeah, they use ska influences, but Tragic Kingdom is more of a ska-rock album. Or new-wave with some ska influences.

I was typing up about that and missed your post! Well said.

I'm with Dennis. Sports Night’s Isaac Jaffe has been my answer to this question for a long time, well before this question became an AV Club feature. For me, it started with the episode where Isaac gets mad at Jeremy for not trusting him, and even angrier at Jeremy's former employer for not recognizing what Jeremy was…

Marley & Me, Nemo's mom (in Finding Nemo), the children's books examples listed above, and plenty of near deaths on screen.
